Filter by:The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) depending on different combinations of mesh and mesh fixation. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
To analyze and validate a preoperative score of difficulty of inguinal hernias and its correlation with postoperative outcomes

The Erectore Spinae Plane Block (ESP Block) is a recently described technique for regional anesthesia that has shown promising results in the treatment of pain after thoracic surgery. It involves the injection of local anesthetic behind the musculature of the back. The investigators intend to compare this technique with a more standardized one, the TAP Block, which involves injection of anesthetic behind the musculature of the abdomen. 50 patients undergoing robotic inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia will be randomly selected to receive, in addition to general anesthesia, either the ESP block or the TAP block. Patients receiving an ESP Block will also receive an injection of saline solution in the TAP injection site, and the other way around. This will prevent preconceived ideas on either technique to influence the evaluationso of the effect. Pain scores and consumption of pain medication will be recorded during the 24 hours following the operation to compare the effect of the two techniques.
This retrospective study investigates if robotic assisted groin hernia repair in patients who previously underwent abdominal prostatectomy has an equal or more favorable clinical outcome, compared to open repair in those patients.
This feasibility study highlights the features of the 3D dynamic responsive prosthesis ProFlor-E® for fixation free obliteration of inguinal hernia defect
Patients were randomized into two groups: Group Gabapentine ( G group) received 600 mg of Gabapentin (two tablets) two hours prior to surgery and saline solution before induction of spinal anesthesia and group Ketamine ( K group) received two placebo tablets and an injection of ketamine at a dosage of 0.15 mg/Kg before induction of spinal anesthesia.. During the surgery, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Postoperative analgesia was provided by a PCA morphine. Acute postoperative pain was assessed by a visual analog scale. The incidence of postoperative neuropathic pain was detected by the DN4 questionnaire after one and three months of surgery.
The orifices of all inguinal and ventral (including Spigelian) hernias were carefully recorded at the beginning of laparoscopy (n=201) of other reason (cholecystectomy, fundoplication) in 2003-5. The patients with occult hernias (n=43) were followed-up 15 years to find out what percentage of hernias would become symptomatic.
Two Millimetres needlescopic instruments induce minimal damage to the abdominal wall and have excellent cosmetic results. However, these instruments are fragile and expensive with short weak jaws. The aim of this study is to present a novel needlescopic approach using 1.6-mm Suture Grasper Device [SGD], modified polypectomy snare and a home-made Snare (HMS) for the treatment of congenital inguinal hernias [CIH] in girls. Over a period of one year from March 2018 to March 2019 a prospective study was conducted in three tertiary centres on 53 girls presented with CIH. Preoperative inguinoscrotal U/S was done for all patients to confirm the diagnosis and to measure the diameter of internal inguinal ring [IIR]. All patients were repaired using needlescopic inversion and snaring of the hernia sac using 2-SGDs and a snare. Follow up period ranged from 12 to 24 (Median 16.5) months. Fifty-three girls with 74 hernias were included in this study. Their mean age was 37.8 months. Internal inguinal ring diameter (IIR) ranged between 8-15 mm with a mean of 11.8±2.8mm. Mean operative time was 15.5 minutes in bilateral and 11.4 minutes in unilateral cases. Mean operative time for inversion, snaring, and sac extraction was 4.2±1.3 minutes. All cases were completed successfully without conversion and without complications. Follow up period ranged from 12 to 24 (Median 16.5) months with non-visible scar and no recurrence among the studied patients. Needlescopic inversion and snaring of inguinal hernia using 1.6mm instruments is a safe, rapid and feasible method for CIH repair in girls with invisible scar and no short-term recurrence.
